Chapter 31: The Money-Hungry Village Chief

After inquiring for two more days, there was still no suitable land for sale, and finally Cao's decision was made to open up the wasteland!

The location is chosen in the south of the village near the mountain, because there is no water source nearby, irrigation is inconvenient, and the grass grows, and there are many stones, so there are few people who care.

Since it has been decided to open up the wasteland, it is necessary to make all the preparations, first of all, the land deed is the top priority, it is really the last time that the Xu family has learned a painful lesson.

The next day, the two brothers bought a piece of meat and went to the village chief's house, at this time, if the village wants to apply for a land deed, it must go through the village head, as long as the village chief signs and agrees, this matter has become half, and the remaining half is taken by the village chief to the yamen to handle the land deed documents.

"Knock, knock, knock" After a knock on the door, a woman's voice came from inside the door: "Who, wait a while?". ”

As soon as the door opened, looking at the Xu brothers outside the door, the Li family did not immediately invite them in, but stood by the door and asked coldly: "Yo, it's you, what's the matter?" ”

The two brothers were really angry when they saw her behavior, but they thought that they had come to ask the village chief for help today, so they had to pretend not to see it. He smiled at the Li family and said, "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, I really have the help of the village chief when I came to the door today, so I don't bring a piece of meat, and I will add a meal to the children at noon." ”

Li Shi looked at the meat that Xu Guangqi took out from behind him, and a smile instantly changed on his face and said: "Yo, how embarrassing is this, come on, what else do you bring, you come in first, I'll call someone for you." ”

After saying that, he shouted towards the east wing: "The head of the family, the brothers of the Xu family have something to do with you." ”

The village chief's house is the best condition in Beishan Village, which can be seen from the unique blue brick and tile house, and the area is not small, there are seven or eight wing rooms alone, the front yard covers an area of two acres, and the backyard covers an area of five acres.

The white walls and green tiles, from the outside of the courtyard, are extraordinary. Against the backdrop of the thatched houses in Beishan Village, it definitely stands out from the crowd, and even the Wang scoundrel's family, which is close to the landlord's family, does not have this style.

"That Xu family?" The village chief didn't see anyone, and the voice came out first.

When Li heard this, he was a little embarrassed, although the Xu family was notoriously poor and low-key in Beishan Village, and was looked down upon.

But after all, I just received someone's things, and in front of these two brothers, it's really embarrassing to say this.

As the words fell, I saw the village chief Wang Shen slowly pacing out of the east chamber, where was the leisure, as if someone was looking for him to do something, like a walk in his back garden.

"Oh, it's your brother, what? It's a conflict with the Wang family again, let's talk about it, what's going on this time? With that, he sat down on a bamboo chair in the courtyard slowly.

Seeing his behavior, and the meaning of his words, he didn't take their brothers in his eyes, and the Xu family brothers were all on fire in their hearts, but who called him the village head, they could only buy wasteland through him. So even if you have a lot of anger in your heart, you have to endure it.

"Village chief, that's the case, isn't it that the family has too little land and it's difficult to live? Our brother thought that it would be better to open up some wasteland, although the harvest of the wasteland is not good, but we can still drop something and fill our stomachs. ”

"Oh, why are you thinking about opening up the wasteland again, aren't you afraid of the Wang family making trouble this time?" Wang Shen asked with a smile.

Xu Guangqi secretly pinched his palm and said: "This time, we will give the title deed first, so what reason does the Wang family have to make trouble." ”

"So it's a good thing that you have a silver land deed, and you plan to open a few acres, one acre, or two acres." Wang Shen was quite surprised when he heard that the Xu brothers were going to go to the land deed first. You must know that the Xu family is one of the best poor households in the village, otherwise why did the wasteland opened last time be robbed by the Wang scoundrel's family in vain, isn't it because there is no money to get the land deed.

"The wasteland in the south of the village, from the foot of the mountain to the side of the road, you need that piece." Xu Guanghua said loudly.

"Poof...... What the! Seriously, you both want that piece. When Wang Shen heard that the wasteland in the south of the village was wanted, he was shocked and squirted out a mouthful of tea.

When Xu Guanghua saw this, he was secretly refreshed in his heart, telling you to look down on people, now you are shocked, and there will be times when you are frightened in the future.

"Yes, yes, and ask the village chief to help measure how big that land is, and we can also prepare the silver to go to the land deed." Xu Guangqi smiled.

"You really think about it, that piece of land is not small, and it is estimated that it must have a look of seven or eight acres." Wang Shen frowned, he didn't believe that the Xu family would be able to scrape together enough money for a while.

"Naturally, I also asked the village chief to help, of course, I won't let the village chief work hard in vain," Xu Guangqi took out a piece of silver for two coins and handed it to Wang Shen.

Wang Shen took the silver and checked it, although the two coins are a lot, but where do people think that there is a lot of money. This Xu family brother suddenly has money on the land deed, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is the whole piece of land in the south of the village, I am afraid that there is a lot of money in his hand. If you want to send him this money, it's really .............

Xu Guangqi saw that Wang Shen took the silver but didn't speak, he knew that this guy must be too little, and secretly hated him for being insatiable, and said politely on his face: "These are just for the village chief to drink tea, and there will definitely be a reward afterwards." ”

When Wang Shen heard this, he smiled and said: "When a village person says this, it's just a little help, why be so polite." I'll take someone over tomorrow to measure, but your brother has to get the silver ready, and I'm afraid that there will be seventeen or eighteen taels just for the land deed, and I have to do some errands and errand people, how can I say that twenty taels you have to be ready. ”

"Yes, yes, we will prepare the silver, but I am bothered that the village chief will go tomorrow."

It wasn't until the Xu brothers went out of the gate that Wang Shen withdrew his gaze, and secretly speculated in his heart, where did the two brothers get so much money, and when he heard him say that he wanted to prepare twenty taels, he didn't see them embarrassed.

Surely they must have twenty taels of silver, or even more. And so much silver must not have been borrowed from relatives, no one has been rich these days, how can there be so much spare money to lend to outsiders.

"Big brother, let's take out so much silver at once, will it be ..........., I just saw Wang Shen like that, I'm afraid I already have an idea." Xu Guanghua thought of Wang Shen's attitude and gaze just now, and felt that his family was being targeted.

"This is also a helpless thing, our family's money will be used sooner or later, and it is a matter of time before people are red, now we will buy all the land at once, maybe let others think that our money has been used, but it is a good thing."

"What the eldest brother said is good, but if people ask, where did our money come from, how can we explain it?

"Hmph, explain what, we still need to explain our own family's money to them, if someone is really in a hurry, let's say that we have saved some in the past two years and borrowed some from relatives."

As the two brothers walked, they calculated how to face the upcoming land buying turmoil.
